If using raw beans, soak them in a big bowl in 4 cups of water for at
least 6 hours or overnight. Once soaked, drain the water & discard it.

Beans In Pressure Cooker:

Pressure cook the beans until tender in 2 cups of water mixed with 1
ts oil & 1 ts salt for 10 minutes on high or 2 whistles. Once you
hear the second whistle,remove from stove top and wait until the
cooker releases all the steam.

Note:

Since each pressure cooker is different, adjust time as per your
appliance.

Beans On Stove Top:

In a heavy bottomed pot with lid, add the soaked beans along with
salt and oil. Cover & let the water come to boil. About 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to minimum and let simmer for 20 minutes or so until
tender.

Once beans are cooked, drain and let cool. You can reserve the water
for adding to curries, rice pilaf, or stews, etc.

Salad:

In a big bowl, toss the cooked, cooled & cooked beans with all the
vegetables and combine gently. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Garam Masala Dressing:

In a small jar with a lid, add all the ingredients listed except salt
& sour cream. Tighten the lid & shake well until an emulsion is
formed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

To Serving:

Add salt & sour cream to the dressing, shake again to mix and pour
over the beans and vegetables. Toss well, add some grated cheese if
you like and serve cold.
